The Tabernacle Sermons

Adam Ray // November 1, 2026 Religion, good works, and a godly heritage can’t give you the new life only God can create! In John 3:1–21, Jesus reminds us that we must be born again, trust in what He accomplished on the cross, and step out of darkness into His marvelous light.

John Vermilya // October 25, 2026 What does it mean to believe in Jesus? Is faith simply about what we hope God will do for us? Jesus’ power, authority, and promises point us toward a deeper faith — one that calls us to trust Him for who He really is.

John Vermilya // October 18, 2026What are you really searching for, and what would happen if you encountered Jesus in a way that changed everything? Jesus extends that life-changing invitation and the promise of even greater things to all who respond to His call.

Adam Ray // October 11, 2026 Know who you are. Know why you’re here. And make sure your life points people to Jesus. John the Baptist understood that he wasn’t the Christ—he was the voice preparing the way and declaring, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world.”

John Vermilya // October 4, 2026 Jesus came into the world as the true Light, revealing the glory of God in a way we could never see on our own. But the Incarnation calls for a response from everyone. What will we do with Jesus?

John Vermilya // September 27, 2026 Before we understand what Jesus came to do, we must first understand who He truly is. John’s Gospel starts with creation, not Bethlehem, and invites us to see Christ from an eternal perspective.

John Vermilya // September 20, 2026 Every choice we make is taking us somewhere, and over time those choices shape the trajectory of our lives. But what happens when we begin to see our lives not as something we own, but as something God has entrusted to us?

Adam Ray // September 13, 2026 What happens when you’ve truly been with Jesus? Your life is transformed, your testimony points to Christ, and eventually, you can’t help but speak about what you’ve seen and heard. This weekend, we’ll discover what it means to live as a witness whose life makes people say, “They’ve been with Jesus.”

Adam Ray // September 6, 2026 What you consistently devote yourself to will determine the trajectory of your life. Join us as we discover what happens when we move toward Christ, toward His people, and toward His mission.

God speaks and reveals Himself plainly, and yet many people never stop to listen. In Psalm 19, we are confronted with a God who speaks and makes Himself known and invites us to hear, respond, and encounter Him.

When life and circumstances feel uncertain and beyond our control, where do we turn for security? Psalm 18 invites us to consider the character of God who is unwavering in faithfulness, unmatched in power, and worthy of our confidence.

Psalm 17 reminds us that when we are falsely accused, surrounded by trials, or tempted to envy those who seem to prosper, God calls us to persevering prayer, holiness, and trust. The world may offer temporary rewards, but Christ is our eternal portion—our validation, protection, and ultimate satisfaction.

We all know the feeling of longing for home, but what if that longing points to something deeper? In Psalms 15 and 16, David asks who can dwell with God and ultimately points us to the only One who makes it possible.

The fools denial of God is not rooted in intellectual discrepancies, but is a matter of the wretched heart. Yet, even in a corrupt world, God protects the righteous. Ultimately, this Psalm points us to a beautiful hope: the Lord restores His people.

What do we do when God feels distant, silent, or slow to respond? Honesty prayer, bringing our questions and fears to God, is where He meets us, shapes our faith, deepens our relationship and our trust in Him.

Psalm 12 contrasts the deceptive words of a fallen world with the flawless, trustworthy Word of God. As truth disappears and wickedness is celebrated, believers are called to place their confidence not in the shifting voices of culture, but in the unchanging character, promises, and protection of the Lord.

Trials are an unavoidable part of life, testing what—or whom—we trust most. But the Bible offers a searching perspective that reshapes how we understand those difficult moments and the God who allows and reigns over them.

When God feels silent and injustice seems to win, Psalm 10 gives language to our deepest questions without shutting down our faith. This message walks through David’s honest lament and shows how prayer moves us from confusion to confidence in a God who still hears, sees, and reigns forever.

Life often leaves us caught between God's promises and present struggles. Psalm 9 reminds us of why the Lord alone is our Fortress, and why we can have confidence in the middle of that tension.

In a world that tells you to chase recognition, Psalm 8 reminds us that our significance comes not from people's applause, but from the God who is mindful of us. Join us as we discover how awe of God's greatness leads to humility, purpose, faithful stewardship, and ultimately points us to Jesus—the One who restores what humanity lost.

When life deals you injustice and you feel accused or wronged, where do you turn? Psalm 7 shows us what it means to stand before God, who is both the righteous Judge and faithful Shield of all who trust Jesus Christ.

What if coming to the end of yourself is actually the beginning of something deeper? In Psalm 6, we discover how to pray when everything feels like it’s falling apart, and why weakness before God is where His power goes to work.

Grief and sorrow are an inevitable part of life for all humans. The psalmist provides a blueprint to navigate our sorrow and grief. Surrounded by enemies and heavy grief, David does not rely on his own power or sink into despair. Instead, he turns to the security of God's character and His promises through obedience.

We often pray and trust God in tough circumstances because we want Him to change our situation, and rightly so. But Psalm 4 challenges whether our trust in God is rooted in His answers or in who He is. Even in the silence of the night

In Psalm 3, David moves from betrayal and overwhelming anxiety to unshakable confidence by learning to share his burdens with God, praise Him for who He is, and rest in His protection. When life feels surrounded by enemies and fear, this Psalm reminds us that salvation belongs to the Lord and that true peace is found not in changed circumstances, but in trusting Jesus Christ, our shield, sustainer...
